New York Doorman Strike May Make Trash Men of Luxury Residents - BusinessWeek
New York City is approximately 13 hrs away from a possible doorman strike if the union cannot reach an agreement with the city's apartment building owners. Porters, supers, elevator operators, and handymen are also prepared to strike as well. Managing agents, co-op boards and the like are scrambling to put together a contingency plan in the event of a walk-out.
These people are hardworking and the silent keepers of the gate. As a broker, I can attest that if you get on the building staff's wrong side, they can keep you out of that gate. I've always advised new agents, that a little bit of courtesy and respect goes a long way when interacting with building staff. I've developed relationships over the years with many buildings.
I know how hard these people work, including my own building staff to keep things running smoothly. Hopefully a fair agreement can be reached.
